A cerebrograph is the invention of one Max Sherover and is described as "a combination record-player, electric clock, and pillow microphone." Student Guinea Pigs Elliott, as preparation for a Master's thesis at the Uni versity, found 40 volunteer student guinea pigs with per fect hearing, a love for sleep, and no snoring tendencies.

Elliott believes that sleep teaching is similar to reteach- ing something a person has temporarily forgotten. He is not as definite about his opinion, though, as Time would have one believe. The magazine article says that Elliott along with inventor Sherover thinks the cerebro graph can be used to teach nultiplication tables, chemical formulas, Morse code, loga rithms, and vocabularies.
